Production of Compounds

The compounds according to the present invention may be produced, for example, according to scheme 1 and scheme 2.

Starting compounds necessary for the synthesis of the compounds according to the present invention may be commercially available, or alternatively may be produced according to a conventional process. For example, a 4-chloroquinoline derivative may be synthesized by a conventional process as described in Org. Synth. Col. Vol. 3, 272 (1955), Acta Chim. Hung., 112, 241 (1983) or WO 98/47873. A 4-chloroquinazoline derivative may be synthesized by a conventional process as described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 68, 1299 (1946) or J. Am. Chem. Soc., 68, 1305 (1946).

Alternatively, the 4-chloroquinazoline derivative may be produced by a process which comprises the steps of: (1) first reacting a benzoic ester with formamide to prepare a quinazolone derivative (see Production Example 34) and (2) then heating the 4-quinazolone derivative using toluene or sulfolane as a solvent in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride (see Production Examples 35 and 36). The quinazolone derivative is generally synthesized in the presence of a benzoic ester, sodium methoxide, formamide, and a solvent such as DMF or methanol. In the step (1), the reaction proceeds in a system where only the benzoic ester and formaldehyde are present. This is advantageous in that the synthesis can be carried out using a small number of starting compounds. The 4-quinazolone derivative is generally halogenated by heating the quinazolone derivative and phosphorus oxychloride. In this case, in many cases, due to high reactivity of the quinazoline derivative, the influence of the solvent has caused the quinazoline derivative to be returned to the starting compound and consequently made it impossible to complete the reaction. In the step (2), the reaction is completed in the presence of toluene or sulfolane, and, thus, this is advantageous from the viewpoint of an increase in yield.

Next, 4-chloroquinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative is allowed to act on nitrophenol in the presence of a suitable solvent or in the absence of a solvent to synthesize a 4-(nitrophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative which is then stirred in a suitable solvent, for example, N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of a catalyst, for example, palladium hydroxide-carbon or palladium-carbon, in a hydrogen atmosphere to give a 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative. Alternatively, a 4-chloroquinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative may be allowed to act on aminophenol in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride, to give a 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative.

Alternatively, the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or the corresponding quinazoline derivative may also be produced by dissolving aminophenol in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and then subjecting the solution to a two-phase reaction with a solution of a 4-chloroquinazoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative in an organic solvent in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst or in the absence of a catalyst (see Production Examples 37 and 38). In this reaction, for example, phenol remaining unreacted and a decomposition product of 4-chloroquinazoline are left in the aqueous layer, while the target product is present in the organic layer. That is, the organic layer contains only the target product. Therefore, the post-treatment is advantageously simple. Further, the production of N-alkylaminophenoxy-quinazoline as a by-product can be advantageously suppressed.

The 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or the corresponding quinazoline derivative thus obtained may be reacted with an acid chloride or an acid anhydride in the presence of a base, followed by reduction, for example, with lithium aluminum hydride to introduce a substituent into R⁹ (step 1A).

Alternatively, the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or the corresponding quinazoline derivative may be reacted with an aldehyde or a ketone to produce an imine, followed by reduction, for example, with sodiumboroncyanohydride to introduce a substituent into R⁹ (step 1B).

The derivative with a substituent introduced into R⁹ is allowed to act on an isocyanate derivative (O═C═N—R¹¹) by a conventional method (step 2), and a suitable alkylating agent (R¹⁰Hal) is allowed to act in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride (step 3) to produce the compound of formula (I).

Alternatively, R⁹ and R¹⁰ may also be introduced by allowing a suitable alkylating agent (R⁹Hal, R¹⁰Hal) to act on a urea derivative, wherein R⁹ and/or R¹⁰ represent a hydrogen atom, in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride (steps 5 and 7).

The urea derivative, wherein R⁹ and/or R¹⁰ represent a hydrogen atom, may be produced by allowing an isocyanate derivative to act on the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or the corresponding quinazoline derivative, produced in scheme 1, according to a conventional method, or by adding a triphosgene to the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or the corresponding quinazoline derivative in the presence of a base, for example, triethylamine, and then reacting the mixture with a suitable alkylamine (R¹¹NH₂, R¹⁰R¹¹NH) (steps 4 and 6).

The derivative having a specific substituent at the 7-position of the quinoline ring may be produced, for example, according to scheme 3.

A suitable substituent (for example, benzyl) may be allowed to act on a commercially available 4′-hydroxyacetophenone derivative to protect the hydroxyl group, followed by action of a nitrating agent (for example, nitric acid-acetic acid) to introduce a nitro group.

The nitro group may be then reduced to an amino group which is then reacted with a formic ester in the presence of a base to form a quinolone ring, followed by action of a chlorinating agent, for example, phosphorus oxychloride, to produce a 4-chloroquinoline derivative.

The 4-chloroquinoline derivative thus obtained may be allowed to act on aminophenol in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride, to produce a 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative.

The urea portion may be synthesized by allowing an isocyanate derivative (O═C═N—R²⁹) to act on the derivative thus obtained according to a conventional method, or by treating the derivative with triphosgene and then allowing an aromatic amine or alkylamine (R²⁹NH₂) to act on the treated derivative.

Next, the protective group (PG) for the hydroxyl group at the 7-position of the quinoline ring may be removed, followed by action of an alkyl halide (R^(22′)Hal wherein R^(22′) represents an alkyl portion when R²² represents alkoxy) in the presence of a base, or by action of an alcohol derivative (R^(22′)OH) according to a conventional method, for example, Mitsunobu reaction, to produce a compound, according to the present invention, having an alkoxy group at the 7-position of the quinoline ring.

The alkyl halide used in the substitution reaction may be commercially available or produced according to a process described, for example, in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1945, 67, 736.

The alcohol derivative used in the substitution reaction may be commercially available or produced according to a process described, for example, in J. Antibiot. (1993), 46(1), 177 and Ann. Pharm. Fr. 1977, 35, 503.

The derivative having a specific substituent at the 6-position of the quinoline ring may be produced using 3′-hydroxyacetophenone derivative as the starting compound according to scheme 3.

The derivative having a specific substituent at the 7-position of the quinazoline ring may be produced according to scheme 4.

The 2-amino-benzoic ester derivative may be produced by esterifying a 2-nitro-benzoic acid derivative synthesized according to a method described, for example, in J. Med. Chem. 1977, 20, 146, for example, with dimethylsulfuric acid in the presence of a base, for example, potassium carbonate and then reducing the nitro group, for example, with iron/acetic acid.

Next, the compound thus obtained may be allowed to act on formamide in the presence of a base to form a 4-quinazolone ring, followed by action of a chlorinating agent, for example, phosphorus oxychloride, to produce a 4-chloroquinazoline derivative.

The 4-chloroquinazoline derivative thus obtained may be allowed to act on an aminophenol derivative in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride, to produce a 4-(aminophenoxy)quinazoline derivative.

The urea portion may be synthesized by allowing an isocyanate derivative (O═C═N—R²⁹) to act on the derivative thus obtained according to a conventional method, or by treating the derivative with triphosgene and then allowing an aromatic amine or alkylamine (R²⁹NH₂) to act on the treated derivative.

Next, the protective group (PG) for the hydroxyl group at the 7-position of the quinazoline ring may be removed, followed by action of an alkyl halide (R^(22′)Hal wherein R^(22′) represents an alkyl portion when R²² represents alkoxy) in the presence of a base, or by action of an alcohol derivative (R^(22′)OH) according to a conventional method, for example, Mitsunobu reaction, to produce a compound, according to the present invention, having an alkoxy group at the 7-position of the quinazoline ring.

The alkyl halide and the alcohol derivative used in the substitution reaction may be commercially available or produced according to a process described in the literature referred to in the description of scheme 3.

The derivative having a specific substituent at the 6-position of the quinazoline ring may be produced using 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivative as the starting compound according to scheme 4.

Further, the compounds according to the present invention inhibit in vitro the activation of MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) caused by stimulation of vascular endothelial cells with VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) (see Pharmacological Test Examples 1 and 2). Upon the stimulation of vascular endothelial cells with VEGF, MAPK is activated by a signal transmission system downstream of the receptor, and, consequently, an increase in phosphorylated MAPK is recognized (Abedi, H. and Zachary, I., J. Biol. Chem., 272, 15442–15451 (1997)). The activation of MAPK is known to play an important role in the growth of vascular endothelial cells in angiogenesis (Merenmies, J. et al., Cell Growth & Differ., 83–10 (1997); and Ferrara, N. and Davis-Smyth, T., Endocr.

Pharmacological Test Example 1 Measurement of Inhibitory Activity Against Activation of MAPK Within Vascular Endothelial Cells Induced by VEGF Stimulation

Human funicular venous vascular endothelial cells (purchased from Chronetics) were cultured in an EGM-2 medium (purchased from Chronetics) within an incubator containing 5% carbon dioxide until 50 to 70% confluent, and the culture was inoculated into wells, containing the same medium, in a 96-well flat-bottom plate in an amount of 1.5×10⁵ per well. After cultivation at 37° C. overnight, the medium was replaced by an EBM-2 medium containing 0.5% fetal calf serum (purchased from Chronetics), followed by cultivation for 24 hr. A solution of the test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide was added to each well, and the cultivation was continued at 37° C. for additional one hr. A human recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (hereinafter abbreviated to “VEGF”) was added to a final concentration of 50 ng/ml, and the stimulation of cells was carried out at 37° C. for 8 min. The medium was removed, the cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4), and 10 μl of a solubilization buffer (Tris buffered saline (pH 7.4) containing 1% Triton X100, 2 mM sodium orthovanadylate, and 1 mM disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate) was then added thereto. The mixture was shaken at 4° C. for one hr to solubilize the cells. An equal amount of Tris buffered saline containing 1% sodium laurylsulfate was added to and thoroughly mixed with the solution. This solution (2 μl) was adsorbed on a PVDF filter by dot blotting, and this filter was subjected to immunoblotting with anti-tyrosine phosphorylated MAPK antibody (purchased from Daiichi Pure Chemicals).

The level of phosphorylated MAPK was quantitatively determined with a densitometer, and the percentage phosphorylated MAPK in the presence of the test compound was determined by presuming the level of phosphorylated MAPK with the addition of VEGF in the absence of the test compound to be 100% and the level of phosphorylated MAPK in the absence of the test compound and VEGF to be 0%. The test compound concentration (IC₅₀) necessary for inhibiting 50% of the activation of MAPK was calculated based on the percentage of phosphorylated MAPK.

The results were as summarized in Table 1.

Pharmacological Test Example 2 Measurement of Inhibitory Activity Against KDR Phosphorylation by ELISA

NIH 3T3 cells (Sawano A et al., Cell Growth & Differentation, 7, 213–221 (1996), “Flt-1 but not KDR/Flk-1 tyrosine kinase is a receptor for placenta growth factor, which is related to vascular endothelial growth factor”) prepared by transfection of human KDR were cultured in a DMEM medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (purchased from GIBCO BRL) within a 5% carbon dioxide incubator until 50 to 70% confluent. The harvested cells were inoculated into wells, containing the same medium, in a collagen-type one-coat 96-well flat-bottom plate in an amount of 1.5×10⁴ per well, followed by cultivation at 37° C. overnight. The medium was then replaced by a DMEM medium containing 0.1% fetal calf serum. A solution of the test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide was added to each well, and the cultivation was continued at 37° C. for additional one hr. A human recombinant vascular endothelial growth factor (hereinafter abbreviated to “VEGF”) was added to a final concentration of 100 ng/ml, and the stimulation of cells was carried out at 37° C. for 2 min. The medium was removed, the cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4), and 50 μl of a solubilization buffer (20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 0.2% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 5 mM sodium orthovanadylate, 5 mM disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and 2 mM Na₄P₂O₇) was then added thereto. The mixture was shaken at 4° C. for 2 hr to prepare a cell extract.

Separately, phosphate buffered saline (50 μl, pH 7.4) containing 5 μl/ml of anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody (PY20; purchased from Transduction Laboratories) was added to a microplate for ELISA (Maxisorp; purchased from NUNC), followed by standing at 4° C. overnight to form a solid phase on the wells. After washing of the plate, 300 μl of a blocking solution was added, followed by standing at room temperature for 2 hr to perform blocking. After washing, the whole quantity of the cell extract was transferred to the wells, and the plate was then allowed to stand at 4° C. overnight. After washing, an anti-KDR antibody (purchased from Santa Cruz) was allowed to react at room temperature for one hr, and, after washing, a peroxidase-labeled anti-rabbit Ig antibody (purchased from Amersham) was allowed to react at room temperature for one hr. After washing, a chromophoric substrate for peroxidase (purchased from Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was added thereto to initiate a reaction. After a suitable level of color development, a reaction termination solution was added to stop the reaction, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a microplate reader. The KDR phosphorylation activity for each well was determined by presuming the absorbance with the addition of VEGF and without the addition of the medicament to be 100% KDR phosphorylation activity and the absorbance without the medicament and VEGF to be 0% KDR phosphorylation activity. The concentration of the test compound was varied on several levels, the inhibition (%) of KDR phosphorylation was determined for each case, and the concentration of the test compound necessary for inhibiting 50% of KDR phosphorylation (IC₅₀) was calculated.

The results were as summarized in Table 2.

Pharmacological Test Example 3 Karyomorphosis Test

A375 human melanoma cells (2×10⁴) (obtained from Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research) were incolulated on a culture slide (manufactured by Falcon) and were cultured at 37° C. After the elapse of 5 hr from the initiation of the cultivation, the test compound was added to 10 μM and 1 μM, and the cultivation was continued for additional 48 hr. After the fixation of cells, 50 μg/ml propidium iodide solution containing ribonuclease (200 μg/ml) was added to stain nuclei. The stained nuclei were observed under a fluorescent microscope to analyze the nuclei for abnormality of karyomorphosis. The change in karyomorphosis for test compounds was evaluated as (2+) when the change in karyomorphosis of cells took place at 1 μM; was evaluated as (+) when the change in karyomorphosis of cells took place at 10 μM; and was evalauted as (−) when the change in karyomorphosis of cells did not take place at 10 μM.

The results were as summarized in Table 3.

Pharmacological Test Example 4 Antitumor Effect on Human Glioma Cells (GL07)

Human glioma cells GL07 (obtained from Central Laboratories for Experimental Animals) were transplanted into nude mice. When the tumor volume became about 100 mm³, the mice were grouped. In this case, grouping was carried out so that each group consisted of four mice and the average tumor volume was even among the groups. The test compound was orally or intraperitoneally administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg to the test groups every day once a day for 9 days, while the medium was administered to the control group in the manner as in the test groups. The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGIR) was calculated as follows: The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGIR)=(1−Tx/Cx)×100 wherein Cx represents the volume of tumor at day x for the control group when the tumor volume at the day of the start of the administration was presumed to be 1; and Tx represents the volume of tumor for test compound administration groups.

The tumor growth inhibition rate for representative examples of a group of compounds according to the present invention is shown in Table 4.
